Some people write or talk to me about their hesitancy or resistance to taking steps forward on their path of discovery. One of my favorites is:

There is a fear of being duped by a Spiritual Teacher

Fear of being mislead by a teacher. Fear of being duped and giving away a trust in myself. What is discernment, what is judgment? When am I doing which?

I find this reasoning kind of funny. A person is using their fear to guide their thought process away from taking actions. Why should we trust our fears? Isn't it usually our fears that more often mislead us in our thinking and actions?
Often this kind of "fearful thinking" is called skepticism, and often by people who claim to be skeptics. However, in this case the fear is using this tool of skepticism to be fearful of something different, and keep other fears in place by preventing action. A more skillful use of skepticism would be to apply it to these fearful thoughts. Until you apply skepticism to your fears, fears will use that tool of skepticism against your own emotional well being.
To balance challenging your fears of a teacher, don't go leaping in with both feet towards what any teacher tells you either. It is reasonable to be skeptical of a Spiritual teacher, or even therapist, just don't be fearful. Take your time time getting to know them and see what they are like, and if it is a good fit for you.
You might find some good guidance on evaluating a Spiritual Teacher from Jack Kornfield's book, "A Path With Heart."
Chapter 16 is entitled: You Can’t Do It Alone: Finding and Working with a Teacher

Believing is something that you do.
Faith is what you do it with.
Faith is a kind of personal power you have. You can put it in concepts and ideas in your head and make agreements with it. Or you can put your personal power of faith within your self.
A warrior refrains from the first, and does the latter.

A spiritual warriors path is challenging.
In The Four Agreements, Miguel Ruiz calls it a war. We will lose some battles, that's okay. It may feel like a lot, even with the perspective of the victim persona at the time, hopeless. But it is only one battle. A Spiritual Warrior learns not to measure progress in the war using the metrics of only one battle.
A Spiritual Warrior learns to retreat, rest, recover, learn from their actions, regroups, then stands up again to take another step on his path.
Even in the process of losing a battle, much progress is made. The ego has pushed back, and so it is exposed, and we gain more clarity on our endeavor. The ego can even be weakened. At a minimum, we become more respectful of our foe, even if it is a dream. We become more grateful of those moments that are peaceful, and even grateful of moments where we are just holding our ground against a dream. And with that kind of experience a number of times we embrace humility, a kind of mile marker on the journey.
Sometimes it is best for a Warrior to realize they have done their best against their emotional reactions and inner demons of the mind, and to go rest and recover. A warrior learns there is a time for that too as they become wise.
Sometimes it is best to rest and recover. It will be necessary to take time to rest or you will not win many of the battles in the war for your happiness.
